Kris, compared to the whole volume of technical questions, the logo-related threads/postings are an infinitely small part. I won't bother counting on- and off-topic postings in the last couple of months to show how high S/N really is here. > On the plus side, if you guys keep it up I'll be able to dramatically > improve my view of the S/N ratio by adding those with nothing better > to contribute than their indignation to my killfile (some are there > already) so I *can* focus on the user questions. Feel free to do so. You've been of great help on this list many times before (thank you), so I'll hate being on your killfile, even for tech questions. But since it's your spare time, I understand this. Bye, Kris. Keep up the excellent work. > Kris Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
